_RFK Jr. Says Trump Just Did What No Democrat Ever Had the Guts to Do_
FTA: It was a moment you’ll remember for decades. Standing before reporters and his healthcare team, President Trump announced the most aggressive move on drug pricing America has ever seen. The plan? To cut prescription drug costs by up to 90%—a direct strike against the industry that’s drained American families dry for years.
“Starting today, the United States will no longer subsidize the health care of foreign countries, which is what we were doing,” Trump said. “We were subsidizing others’ health care, countries where they paid a small fraction of what for the same drug that what we pay many, many times more for.”
This wasn’t just about reining in corporate greed. Trump laid it out clearly: this was a global scam, and America was the one footing the bill.
“And [we] will no longer tolerate profiteering and price gouging from Big Pharma,” he added. “But again, it was really the countries that forced Big Pharma to do things that frankly, I’m not sure they really felt comfortable doing, but they’ve gotten away with it, these countries, European Union has been brutal, brutal.”
Trump promised that would change. “So for the first time in many years, we’ll slash the cost of prescription drugs and we will bring fairness to America.”
How much cheaper? “If you think of a drug that is sometimes ten times more expensive, it’s much more than the 59%… but between 59 and 80, and I guess even 90%.”
"Then came the reveal that changed everything. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stood beside the president and exposed one of Washington’s best-kept secrets. It wasn’t just corruption—it was betrayal.
“This is an extraordinary day,” Kennedy began. “This is an issue that, you know, I grew up in the Democratic Party, and every major Democratic leader for 20 years has been making this promise to the American people.”
He pointed straight to Bernie Sanders, who made drug pricing the core of his presidential campaigns. “This was the fulcrum of Bernie Sanders runs for presidency, that he was going to eliminate this discrepancy between Europe and the United States.”

Phillip Blond: The welfare state disempowered working class people people by taking away their ability to self-organise, by taking away their ability to work with each other. It atomised working class communities and also prevented innovation and aspiration for those at the bottom. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.

Emissary’s templates determine much more than the way a particular site looks. Templates can define their own data schemas, workflow rules, and other site behaviors. Each one is a self-contained unit that can be loaded from your server’s filesystem or downloaded from a networked Git repository. This lets system administrators set the ground-rules for how their servers are to be used, while still giving website owners control over their individual domains.
The Emissary distribution includes a number of default templates to get started, although system administrators can use the Setup Console to remove these and add a set of custom templates instead.
Creating and Distributing Templates
Each Template is just a collection of files in a directory that Emissary knows to scan. This can be a directory in the local filesystem, or a remote Git repository that is registered in the server configuration. Emissary will recognize a directory as a template if it contains a template.json (or template.hjson) definition file (as opposed to a theme.json file or a widget.json file).
Template File Format
Property
Description
templateId
Unique name used to identify this template
model
Name of one of the renderer models to use when rendering. Almost always “stream”
extends
Array of Template IDs that this Template extends (see below)
templateRole
The role that this template takes in the system. Used to determine where new streams can be placed in the hierarchy
socialRole
ActivityPub object type to use when publishing streams to ActivityPub (e.g. Note, Article, Image, etc)
containedBy
Array of zero or more template roles that can contain this template.
label
Human-friendly label, displayed in template lists
description
Human-friendly description, displayed in template lists
icon
Icon name, displayed in template lists
widgetLocations
Array of region names where widgets can be embedded. TOP, LEFT, BOTTOM, RIGHT are recommended.
Every Template defines a series of actions that can be performed on the Streams that use that Template. These actions might be as simple as “Create”, “View”, “Update”, and “Delete” – or they might define a sophisticated publishing and approval workflow that spans a number of individual users and roles.
There are three actions defined in the example template.json file above: “view”, “edit”, and “delete”. These actions can be as simple as setting some initial data, or loading an HTML template to display to the user, or they can define a complex behavior like the edit action.
Each action is composed from a library of interchangeable Steps that provide pre-built functionality to your template design. Steps each have their own rules and parameters. Some are very simple and only do one thing. Others can contain a large number of options – including other steps – to facilitate complex branching and workflow rules. All steps are pre-compiled when the template is loaded in order to maximize server performance.
HTML Content
In the action list above, the “view” action displays an actual web page. This HTML content is packaged into the template as a Standard Go Template. Like Themes and Widgets, These content templates are stored as separate files in the template directory, that must all be named with the *.html suffix.
State Machines
Every stream in Emissary is also a mini state machine. Each template can define the various states that its streams support. For example, the built-in article templates include “published” and “unpublished” states, while the built-in comment templates use “visible”, “hidden”, and “awaiting-moderation”. Here’s an example snippet from the built-in Article template:
<span><span>{
</span></span><span><span> <span>"states"</span>:{
</span></span><span><span> <span>"unpublished"</span>: {
</span></span><span><span> <span>"label"</span>:<span>"Unpublished"</span>,
</span></span><span><span> <span>"description"</span>:<span>"Visible only to Authors and Owners"</span>
</span></span><span><span> },
</span></span><span><span> <span>"published"</span>: {
</span></span><span><span> <span>"label"</span>:<span>"Published"</span>,
</span></span><span><span> <span>"description"</span>:<span>"Visible to all people with permissions"</span>
</span></span><span><span> }
</span></span><span><span> } <span>...</span>
</span></span><span><span>}
</span></span>
States determine which Actions can be taken on a Stream at any given time. This can be further limited to specific users so that, for instance, an Administrator might be allowed to “edit” a Stream when it is marked as “published”, but the original commenter could not.
Extending / Inheriting Templates
Many templates share are so closely related, or share a lot of features in common. In this case, you can put common features in a base template that is “extended” by others.
As an example, the default package includes an “article” template that defines most of the workflow for creating and publishing articles. Two other templates – “article-editorjs” and “article-markdown” – extend this base template with specific functionality required for each of these different data types.
Here’s how extensions work: If a template defines an action itself, then that is the action that is used. Otherwise, Emissary searches through the list of extensions in the order in which they are defined to find that action name. To extend other templates, add an “extends” key into your template.json file with an array of template names as its value.
For example: if a template declares this: "extends": ["A", "B", "C"] then Emissary will first search template “A” for the required actions, then “B”, then “C”.
This inheritance structure can also cascade upwards, so that template “D” could extend “E”, which itself extends “F”.
This extension mechanism also makes it simple for Templates to inherit from multiple bases. In this case, if there multiple extensions, then the first template listed (and all of it’s ancestors in order) is searched first, then the second (with all of its ancestors), and so on.
This article is a follow-up to an older post of mine, Towards a Greater Federated Architecture, and also a response from the wonderfully-thought out piece by Ben Werdmuller, If I Started Fresh. The goal here is to take the lessons learned from a variety of systems to propose the Fediverse platform I have always wanted to build: Postmodern.
No code has been written as of yet, but I am learning to program, from the bottom up, backend to frontend. I have some background in game design, Web development, and API clients, but I'm working on the more elusive foundational stuff. This is the only way I can possibly develop the confidence needed to build this thing.
The Fediverse, Social Web, Peopleverse, whatever you want to call it, has evolved considerably since it originally started back in 2008. During my entire time on the network, I've longed to design a platform of my own. I've learned a lot of lessons from amazing projects along the way: Hubzilla, Bonfire, Emissary, and ActivityPods have all done some really interesting things beyond what Mastodon offers to the network. I also think there's some really valuable ideas in both Nostr and Bluesky that are worth closer examination.
Before I dive into my technical brain-droppings of the past decade, let's establish a few core concepts.
Guiding Principles
1. It needs to be fun
On the surface, this might sound superfluous. What does it mean for a platform to be fun? This boils down to a few key areas that Fediverse platforms struggle with:
Ease of use - Good UX design is hard to execute well. As time goes on, I'm convinced that people want to use something without having to think too hard about conventions or side effects. They shouldn't have to dig under countless menus to find where the decentralization is.
Discovery - For the time being, the act of finding new, cool things to interact with or peruse is pretty bad. There's some promising work happening with Fediverse Discovery Providers. Regardless, discovery needs to also extend beyond simply finding stuff, and include a laser focus on finding people. Onboarding still kind of sucks, and there's a number of issues with trying to find your friends and connect with them.
Resiliency - One of the shakiest aspects of the Fediverse involves just how fragile instances can be. If an instance permanently goes down, and you didn't already have some alias set up to migrate your followers, you're dead in the water. Having to rebuild your social graph from scratch is the opposite of fun.
Control - This can mean a lot of different things: control over your timeline, control over how your space on the web looks, control over your connections, control over your data. A big missed opportunity in the space is that we'll say things like "you own your own data", but it's not exactly true. Your data mostly exists as a series of tables in a database, which can be serialized into a JSON export that you mostly can't use with anything.
It might seem like this is a catch-all, where you can throw any old thing into the guiding principle. Maybe it is. What I know is this: if the experience is bad for users, if they're getting harassed and seeing drama every day, if they don't really have much control over the platform, if they can't find their friends or cool things that interest them, then your platform is the opposite of fun.
2. Users should have maximum agency
Building on top of Principle #1, individual users should have total agency of how their experience is shaped online. This can be categorized in four ways:
Visual / Conventional - the user decides what interfaces, themes, apps, and clients they will leverage to access the network. Custom designs and behaviors empower users to make their online space truly their own.
Data Sovereignty - the user has strict controls over their data: what apps and services can use it, the extent to which different pieces are exposed to the Web, and the ability to seamlessly port the sum of that data from one place to another.
Filtering and Connectivity - users should always be given the opportunity to decide what they see on their feeds, and what other people can see from them. This could take the form of filtering out keywords, blocking users and domains, leveraging a third-party labeling service, or being able to connect to individual accounts that may otherwise be banned instance-wide for everyone else.
Of course, this isn't to say that admins and moderators don't have a suitable place in community-building and curation. It's just that solely relying on them tends to result in communities where users have minimal input on policy, and admins have absolute authority. To me, this is a major barrier towards world-wide adoption of the Social Web, which is a goal for some of us in this massive, sprawling movement.
3. The platform must move the Fediverse forward
There's some absolutely amazing developments happening in the space. Most notably, the Fediverse Enhancement Proposals project has helped many different platforms standardize on undocumented behavior. It's the closest thing we have right now for improving ActivityPub implementations, in lieu of a formal update to the protocol spec.
FEPs are the reason why groups mostly just work across a variety of systems now, and related efforts such as the Threadiverse Working Group allows NodeBB, Discourse, Lemmy, PieFed, and Mbin to federate together with minimal issues. It's not perfect, but the project is bearing a lot of fruit.
The problem is that some of the biggest projects in the space, such as Mastodon, have historically been pretty indifferent to these efforts. Often, they choose to forgo established agreed-upon FEPs to do their own thing, forcing everyone else to bend over backwards and support their unique way of doing things. At the end of the day, FEPs still aren't advancements in the ActivityPub protocol itself.
We need more Fediverse platforms to champion these collaborative efforts, both to help influence further development of the protocol as well as putting pressure on larger projects to work with the community.
4.) The experience must be unique
This might come across as wildly conceited, but I don't want to build yet another clone of a service that already exists. I mean no disrespect towards the people doing that, but I think we've barely managed to scratch the surface of what can be built. There's a certain appeal in imitating existing familiar designs and paradigms, and iterating on them to be better.
What I want to do is develop new concepts that aren't quite like anything else. Sure, there may be a passing resemblance to half a dozen different things, but I want to develop something bold. I'm tired of describing the Fediverse as "the alternative" and want so badly to instead describe it as "the future", but we have to take much bigger risks to get there.
Implementation Details
Here are some of the pipe-dream ideas I've been refining over the years. There are probably a lot of aspects that still need key considerations, some of which is still above my ability to program! I'm currently going to school for Computer Science, and practicing to make my coding skills more capable of tackling these big ideas.
Composable Interfaces
This is probably the biggest idea behind Postmodern, the platform I hope to one day abuild. What are Composable Interfaces? To keep it simple: composable interfaces are a way to construct a custom frontend with whatever data is available.
Composable interfaces are not necessarily new; prior art exists in the following Fediverse projects:
Hubzilla - You can write pages, a custom theme, and widgets using an elaborate template system. You have to write it yourself by hand, there's not really a way to preview these changes, and some of the more high-level customization has to be done by making calls to pieces of code that aren't super well-documented.
Bonfire - Customization is largely accomplished through modules, which can be bundled together into a sort of unique software distribution. So, you can choose to add a group forum module, a wiki module, and a video module, and Bonfire will snap those pieces together for you. Super interesting, kind of complicated, still yet to be battle-tested for communities.
Emissary- Really wild template system built on HTMX and HyperScript. Emissary is really different from other projects because it allows developers to dictate data schemas and actions from within the view template. A lot of contemporary developers might balk at this, because it kind of violates the MVC design pattern. However, Emissary is crazy flexible, and makes it possible for a developer to add support for custom Activity types and actions with a single template.
Dokieli - a full-blown decentralized client-side editing tool. It implements ActivityPub, Linked Data, and a swath of other technologies related to Solid. It's extremely powerful, but the interface looks like it has a significant learning curve. It's hard even for me, a Fediverse nerd with 15 years of experience, to fully grok.
Looking at these concepts, I think Emissary and Dokieli come the closest to what I want to build. The ability to build a custom UI with unique capabilities just by dictating what the template is doing is awfully compelling.
My personal head-cannon differs in one specific way: take Dokieli, and marry its capabilities with that of Emissary. Focus on the page-building, widget-building, stream-building elements, and give people the power to delve into a vast pool of social data that they can edit client-side without having to touch any template code themselves. Don't worry, this ugly thing is just a mockup. There's a lot to figure out. Instead of taking inspiration from page-building tools like Gutenberg, Elementor, or Wix, my thoughts are to instead take inspiration from layer-based image editors. Each layer in the builder/inspector thing is a component, which can be altered, rearranged, and adjusted in a number of different ways. You can mix and match existing components, or compose your own from scratch by reaching into the pool of data that your account is aware of. It's not unlike the WordPress approach to Blocks in 2025...but, hopefully this approach can be more intuitive. Again, this is just conceptual. A whole lot of things need refinement. For this to be viable, a lot of work would need to be done to overcome any potential learning curve. The tools need to be accessible, with the page layout exactly matching what the user sees on the screen.The experience could really suck if it's not implemented carefully. After all, we have to follow the first guiding principle: it has to be fun. Fighting with an editing tool is not that. I wanted to draw more widget ideas, but I need to finish writing this. To accomplish this, the most straightforward approach would be to create a core set of widgets with data types and settings, bundled together for different experiences. I'm calling these bundles-of-things complications, which can be thought of as the snapping together of atomic units to make something greater. An experience that has a lot of complications put together would pretty much work as its own frontend made of stylized, curated pieces. If this sounds way, way complicated: yeah, I know. For a social client frontend, this idea pushes a lot of boundaries. I have some ideas about how to get there (maybe use GraphQL for the builder?), but a lot of it is going to probably diverge from the standard Web application stack. I have a lot of homework to do.
Next-Gen Permissions System
I've written about this a bit before in my last article about moving the Fediverse forward, but we need to get our act together about permissions systems. Mastodon's offering is woefully lacking when it comes to granularity. Sigh. ActivityPub has these nifty things called Collections, which is really just a representation of a collection of objects. You can pretty much put any object in there, so in a roundabout way, you can create a scoped list of people you're connected with. Theoretically, you could use collections of people as privacy scopes, dictating who can see certain things, or certain versions of things.
Projects such as Bonfire have taken the logical next step, where it's possible to establish boundaries and barriers for different collections of people, under a variety of conditions. This can apply to everything from individual posts to group communities to whatever else you can come up with.
I think it's absolutely important that we build a system that not only accounts for message delivery and access, but capabilities as well. You the user should be the one that dictates whether people can see a post, boost it, reply to it, whatever. In a decentralized system, this is kind of hard to figure out, but not impossible.
Some people will disagree with me here, but I think a document database architecture might be the way to go for this whole thing. A traditional relational database might be too limiting for this kind of insane flexibility, especially when you consider how different platforms try to account for the complex data structures necessary for ActivityPub.
Pleroma, for example, historically used the jsonb data type in PostgreSQL to hold reams and reams of nested JSON data. At a small scale, it's not so bad, but ActivityPub data can grow exponentially when you're interacting with lots of people and content.
For some time now, I've been thinking a lot about Sir Tim Berners-Lee's Solid Project. When first approaching Solid, it seems super abstract and complicated. You get all these people talking about RDF, TripleStores, Quads, WebID, and a lot of other stuff. As someone that has a pretty firm grasp on Fediverse systems, Solid initially caused a vein to bulge in my temple. I went on to explain the semantics here. A file manager, representing files in a Solid Pod TL;DR: Solid is kind of a specification for data, data storage, and access. It allows users to store their data in pods, and that data is represented as different kinds of documents and metadata. There is no relational database. Instead, the data in your Solid pod is used as a database itself. If you wanted to migrate all of the posts you've ever made, Solid makes it super easy to pick all that stuff up and move it somewhere else. An ActivityPods instance. All of these applications access the same pool of data. ActivityPods manages to marry the two concepts, and does the heavy lifting to translate these documents and data into something ActivityPub implementations can understand, and vice versa. The real magic here is that ActivityPods makes the act of building ActivityPub apps relatively seamless and straightforward. Developers don't have to think about both ActivityPub and Solid. They just need to write an ActivityPub app. Mastopod, an ActivityPub social app that uses Solid. I still have some outstanding questions about whether ActivityPods can effectively scale up. The Solid community in general is pretty small, and ActivityPods is an even smaller subset of either Solid or ActivityPub communities. A large-scale community instance with over 100,000 users (who all individually have their own pods) doesn't feel that feasible to me.
Still, I respect everything these guys are doing, and I think about building on top of ActivityPods pretty often.
Relay-Based Supportive Infra
Fediverse instances suffer somewhat from a fragile network. In fact, I would go as far as stating that tethering user accounts to Fediverse instances is an antipattern. We've mistakenly followed this trend for a long time, and put the sum of a user's entire social graph into one server. If that server goes down for good, you're toast. A Nostr client's network settings, showing many different relays. Nostr doesn't have this problem, because it doesn't have instances. Instead, user accounts are free-floating, peer-to-peer identities that dispatch posts to individual relays. Instead of individual instances where everybody logs on to post, everything is done through clients. Your identity is basically a public key, tied to a profile and some posts.
What I'm advocating for isn't necessarily the prioritization of one method over the other, but a hybrid approach that includes the best of both. What if Fediverse identities could be free-floating, separate things from instances, that persist even when an instance goes down?
Suppose that the Move activity in ActivityPub was just a method for detaching the identity from one instance, and attaching to another? Or, taking the approach that Hubzilla takes, suppose that you could mirror your identity to multiple instances by attaching your identity to multiple servers? You post in one place, it shows up somewhere else, too.
Another way that relays could be useful is in attacking the notorious Discovery Problem so prevalent in the Fediverse. As Nostr has continued to evolve, different relays have emerged that specialize in specific things:
Caching
Hosting Media
Search
Premium Long-Term Storage
Theoretically, it could also be possible for relays to take on the role of Fediverse Discovery Providers. These things could not only act as an index of content and people, but conduits that pull in news, book reviews, events, and maybe even a contact directory. Maybe your instance could just subscribe to relays, rather than trying to broker message dispatching and pulling in new content itself.
A Single-Identity Ecosystem
Finally, we get to what I consider to be the Achilles heel of today's Fediverse. As highlighted in previous sections, I think we do a terrible job of handling identity. In fact, we don't really do any job at all. Sigh Part of the problem here is that every Fediverse server in the network is a full-blown platform, rather than a client. The decision of the Mastodon project was to forgo the Client-To-Server part of the ActivityPub spec, instead opting for a bespoke API of its own. Mastodon's API grew so popular that many other Fediverse platforms adopted it, just to have access to a vast amount of compatible apps.
The primary side effect of every Fediverse server being a platform instead of a client is that every platform needs its own account to be used. This quickly leads to a nightmare scenario where it's possible to have 15 different accounts floating around that don't actually connect to each other in any meaningful way. Reimagining various platforms as client frontends instead, using the same profile. Granted, the Client-To-Server API has its fair share of complaints. It's under-documented, clients are expected to handle all logic on the client side, and seemingly nobody uses it anyway. However...it still exists, can be improved upon, and could be used in conjunction with ActivityPods.
I'm greatly interested in the prospect of building ActivityPods apps that work with Postmodern, where you're really just viewing different crafted experiences in specific clients.
In Conclusion
Congratulations on getting to the end of my big, weird rant about how I'd do things. Some of these ideas remain unproven, and may not actually be the solutions I end up going with. Still, much of this exists as the byproduct of lessons learned from observing different Fediverse platforms evolve over time. I hope to start by building small prototypes to test out various ideas.
Some of this (all of it?) might be super convoluted and complicated. The biggest thing I want to focus on, however, is the experience of building composable interfaces. I think this idea really has legs, and could potentially be a radically different approach to building for the Social Web.
If you have any insights, ideas, suggestions, or critiques, please feel free to reach out! This article was, believe it or not, something of a shortlist. There's a lot of things I didn't discuss (Bluesky-styled labelers, custom feeds, etc) that still belong in this vision somewhere. For now, these are simply the topics most resonant to me, that I wanted to pay special attention to.
A Turkish diplomat said that ?security will be ensured at the talks in Istanbul,? but let?s not forget that our ambassador was killed in Turkey in 2016 en.topwar.ru/264592-tureckij-d…
The main topic in the world press is still the possible Russian-Ukrainian negotiations that could take place tomorrow in Istanbul. The composition of the delegations is still not known for certain.
I attended a parliamentary discussion with experts and couldn’t help but notice the critical tone towards the Commission, especially regarding the lack of proper enforcement of the DSA and DMA. Are we all running out of patience 🤔?
isn't that when a lot of the built in docs/help pages (oh man, retro!) started using html, and explorer got built into other apps for generic "render the text" purposes?
There are similar issues with at least some modern browsers especially on mobile. Like accidentally clicking one of the "recommendations". But I also seem to recall one almost exactly like you described..
Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom is under new federal scrutiny as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) opens an investigation into whether the state improperly funneled taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens.
یک برنامهنویس تازه کار که در حال یادگیری الگوریتم، سامانهعامل گنو، BASH، زبان C، شبکه (بعداً شروعش میکنم 😀 )، دادهساختارها و ... هست
من از بچگی به رایانه علاقه شدیدی داشتم، مانند خیلیهای دیگه علاقه من به رایانه با بازی کردن شروع شد. حالا زیاد نمیخوام از سرگذشتم و مسیر یادگیریم براتون بگم، این داستانو در یک فرستهی دیگه براتون توضیح میدم. مطمئنم داستان مسیر یادگیری من و پیدایش علاقهی من به علوم رایانه میتونه براتون جذاب باشه! 😀 این نوشتهام هم زیاد به سرگذشت فرایند یادگیریم بی ربط نیست ولی خب گوشهی بسیار کوچیکی هست و حتما جا داره در نوشتههای دیگه ای به سرگذشتم به صورت اختصاصی بپردازم.
در این فرسته هم مستقیم نمیرم سر موضوع اصلی و فعلا فقط مسیر رسیدن به موضوع اصلی رو شرح میدم.
همهی ما بعد از یادگیری مبانی پایهای یک زبان در ادامه میریم سراغ یادگیری چیزایی مانند کدنویسی تمیز، کار با گیت، دادهساختار ها، یک کتابخانه از اون زبان و ...
پس من هم رفتم سراغ یادگیری گیت
هر برنامه نویس تازهکاری بعد از یادگیری گیت و گشتن در وبگاهی مانند gitlab.com تازه میفهمه عههههههههههههه، چه دنیای بزرگی وجود داشته و من نمیدونستم! این همه پروژه و در بیشترشونم هر کسی که میخواد میتونه مشارکت کنه (تنها اونایی که آزادن البته)!!!!! هرکسی که بخواد میتونه از یک پروژه یک انشعاب درست کنه و اون انشعابو یا خودش ادامه بده یا تغیرات دلخواهشو ایجاد کنه و اون تغیراتو برای پروژهی اصلیه هم بفرسته و اگه مالک اون پروژهی اصلیه خواست اون تغیراتو اعمال کنه!
مانند هرکس دیگهای وقتی گیتو یاد گرفتم، برای تمرین رفتم در یکی از وبگاه هایی که خدمت گیتو ارائه میداد ثبتنام کردم. اولین وبگاهی که در اون ثبتنام کردم مانند خیلی های دیگه گیتهاب بود. اما خب برای اینکه آزاد نبود بعدا رفتم روی gitea. من نمیفهمم! چجوری یک نفر میتونه هزار جای وبگاهش واژههای open source رو بذاره ولی خودش آزاد نباشه! توهین به گیتهاب. کلا هم چیز آشغالیه!
دومین وبگاهی که توش ثبتنام کردم gitea.com بود. از اون خوشم اومد. هم طراحی قشنگی داشت و هم ویژگی های خوب. یه پروژهی کوچولو و بدرد نخور هم توش توسعه دادم که خب خیلی چیز بدی بود ولی خب اولین ها همیشه همینن!
در روند توسعهی اولین پروژهام چیز های زیادی رو فهمیدم. اولیش این بود که من هنوز دانش کافی برای شروع پروژهای که از چندین پرونده تشکیل شده رو ندارم! تازه من داشتم از Bash برای این پروژه استفاده میکردم، حالا اگه میخواستم یک پروژه رو به زبان C شروع کنم که یک زبان سطح پایینه که اصلا نمیتونستم. پس تصمیم گرفتم که بیشتر زمانمو بذارم روی مشارکت روی پروژهای دیگران تا اینکه خودم یک پروژه رو ادامه بدم. متاسفانه برای ایجاد یک پروژهی درست درمون نیاز به دانش زیادی هست اونم توی حوضه های مختلف! و خب روند یادگیری این دانش چندین سال طول میکشه.
وبگاه gitea برای مشارکت، زیاد جای مناسبی نبود، کاربران کمی داشت و پروژه های کمی رو هم میزبانی میکرد، پس تصمیم گرفتم برم روی codeberg.org.
خب، codeberg وبگاه خوبیه، کاربران زیادی داره و به آزادی هم اهمیت میده اما خب کارسازاش زیاد نمیتونن جوابگوی این همه کاربر باشن و به طور میانگین هر سههفته یکبار قطع میشه و خیلی وقت هاهم در جواب دادن کنده.
خب برای مشارکت باید اول یک پروژهای رو پیدا میکردم که توانایی مشارکت در اونو داشته باشم. منظور من از مشارکت یک تغیر سادهی ReadMe نیست، منظور من اینکه در روند توسعهی اون پروژه تاثیر زیادی داشته باشم و همینطور با روند توسعهاش همراه باشم و یکی از اصلی ترین مشارکت کنندگانش هم به حساب بیام (تقریبا). پس رفتم در قسمت گشتوگذار (explore) و شروع به گشتن کردم، چندین روز گذشت و خب چیزی پیدا نکرم که بتونم توی اون به اون صورتی که میخوام مشارکت کنم، ولی خب بالاخره یوسوفمو پیدا کردم!
نام اون پروژه Phoenix بود، یک پیکربندی برای افزایش حریم خصوصی و امنیت در فایرفاکس. این پروژه میاد و با تغیر پیکربندی پیشگزیدهی فایرفاکس اونو به جای امن تری تبدیل میکنه.
ایجاد کنندهی این پروژه شخصی هست به نام Celenity (یا حداقل نام کاربریش Celenity هست) و در آمریکا هم زندگی میکنه، ارتباط منو اون در روند مشارکت من در پروژه اش هی بیشترو بیشتر شد و حالا میتونم بگم که باهم دوستیم! 😀)))))
خب وقتی که در قسمت گشتوگذار این پروژه رو پیدا کردم واردش شدم، در ابتدا این پروژه تنها دارای ۶ ستاره بود و کاربران زیادی نداشت و فقط هم از توزیع فدورا پشتیبانی میکرد. تازه نصبش هم به صورت دستی بود و کاربر باید یک کدنوشته (اسکریپت) رو اجرا میکرد.
اولین مشارکتم چیز خیلی سادهای بود. من در اولین درخواست واکشیم اومدم و کاری کردم که گذارشات کار هایی که در حال انجامه به صورت مرتب و زیباتر نمایش داده بشه برای نمونه زدم پرچم nv- رو برای wget تنظیم کردم یا خروجی های استانداردو حذف کردم و الی آخر و Celenity هم این درخواستو به پروژهاش ادغام کرد و این شد شروع ماجرا!!!!
خب نمیخوام این نوشتم طولانی تر از این بشه، ادامهی ماجرا رو بعدا بهتون میگم. خدانگهدار
Jesus. Another one of these? Every freaking day. (Promise it's different)
I personally like mint and pop!os for new users, but for this user I want to try something windows like with more sex appeal. I don't want to have to touch this computer again. Proprietary software is not an issue/consideration. User is techier than most. What has your experience been with kbuntu? Pros/cons? Other suggestions?
The embedded IoT crowd would like to refute your claim that there are no operating systems that you can install and forget.
The collective would like to stress that any operating system can be installed and forgotten. Please note, that usefulness and security may be impacted.
/s
Also, to be technical there is CollapseOS which is an install once and forget sort of thing.
I'm personally a fan of Debian. Default KDE isn't bad looking from what I can remember (I personally don't use it - I neither hate or love it just because I love XFCE). I'm personally a big XFCE fan, but you do have to do some work to get it working good, and there are still jank parts here and there.
While no distro is completely set and forget, I think Debian Stable is as close as you can get. Once you install it and get it working the way you want (depending on your setup, you might encounter minor issues as with any distro), it will pretty much stay that way until you upgrade to the next version, and you can go up to 5 years before upgrading.
I would recommend you use the KDE (or whatever DE you want) live installer, though, as the default installer is quite unintuitive. You can find it in the list of installers at debian.org/distrib/.
I've never used Kubuntu specifically, but I would personally avoid Ubuntu these days if just because of Snaps. Also, Ubuntu is heavily bloated - base Ubuntu is almost unusable in a VM now, while vanilla GNOME and PopOS run well in VMs on the same machine. Personally, when I need to test Ubuntu builds, I always prefer working with PopOS.
Overall, I'd say if you don't end up using Debian (I don't blame you - while I like it, you might not), just please don't use anything Ubuntu-based that isn't Mint or PopOS.
I used to recommend Ubuntu. Now that immutable distributions exist, I prefer to recommend openSUSE Aeon or Fedora Silverblue to new users. However, check this website before installing Linux.
I think you underestimate how many computers that are in use today that can’t be updated to Windows 11.
I, and many others, have run Windows 10 on unsupported hardware. Difference is that Windows 10 didn’t care and Windows 11 actively try to stop you from doing so. So, what is this if not Microsoft now forcing people to buy new hardware, if they have unsupported hardware?
Edit: What where the CPUs on the 2015 computers you upgraded?

Activism is alive and well in New Hampshire even if I've been taking my sweet time on the reporting side of things. I will be posting trials of other activists and free staters as my time allows as well. I've got at least a handful of trials yet to be reported on. This case was a bit of an oddball case given that the state decriminalized small amounts of weed and cops generally don't ticket anyone any more. We went from 20 something tickets in Keene prior to the state's decriminalization of small amounts of weed to just 2 after (in the proceeding year). I guess this officer just had to come up with something to charge Alec over after his bluster and a failure on the false or mistaken stolen vehicle claim.

Attacking the rich is not envy. It is self defense. The hoarding of wealth is the cause of poverty. The rich aren’t just indifferent to poverty; they create it and maintain it. - anonymous wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

Publicacion scheduled for monday 2025-02-03 18:00 Dear studi0 community
We decided to add an #element #matrix #privateSpace #chatRoom to our setup and called it: tupambaeORGstudi0 Please be patient in any case as this is complete #Neuland for the admin in charge.
At least he managed to onboard a filmmaker, photographer and writer as the first step to understand how invites work!
So, hi there! .. self-hosting based in Paris, France newbie @ elena@aseachange.com, director of The Illusionists documentary and #FOSDEM2025 traveler for your new proyect: 💌 #TheFutureIsFederated The one who host's here 📷 photos apparently at @ ele@photos.elenarossini.com.
To begin with we created 3 rooms:
studi0 community
APP tutorials and as the first officialy approved project @jesuiSatire …ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ managed to trigger:
Next step will probably be creating a activityPub #podcast handle on cast.tupambae.com by @utopiArte, the admin over there, as content colection and conversation about the idea itself in the EDITing post is already up and running. Part of the details concerning the cast domain is to figure out how to organize the tools #castopod gives us at hand as it looks like it has quite interesting options to organize cooperation, as stated briefly in a tutorial page created on that site, result of the #learningBYdoing process while installing it: brief Castopod tutorial
Last but not least, we are still trying to drag @lizzischmidt the creator and promotor of the #sundayGimp community experience that is alive and running for over a decade on #diaspora* on to our shores, but federation with diaspora, from a technical point of view, definitely has seen better times in the past. Maybe this very cross community chat option, added right here and now, can help to improve the communication for all of us.
This inicial publication will federate quite well out into the vast space of the #fediVerse, but to see comments from the diaspora bubble and the #activityPub sphear, youll have to visit this original page on this friendica server. Unless of course you are friendican yourself.
So, with no more further introduction, let's jam the #fediFolks!
Favorite thing lately is finding an article I wish were in podcast form, saving the text to a .txt file, then having TTS Util use RH Voice to convert the file into an audio reading, and listen to my own little robotic FOSS nanny read me the stories I want to hear in my headphones as I do yardwork.
Actually what is missing are more voices, impersonators of texts, texts, contributors as well as even some hint's about how to transform text's into other voices, always on linux or software that run's on linux of course.
Trying to drag others into this we mentioned: @aiquez who had joined forces in the first @studi0 project #fallVonMerz and re-shared the first version of this post already. @crossgolf_rebel - kostenlose Kwalitätsposts, a decade long contact out here in the fedi, kinda reference, who does audio recordings and has experiences with podcasts publishing on funkWhale. He fav'ed the first version of this post and added a thinking face to it. @Mina became the self-proclaimed patovica bouncer, a contact that owns all three involved languages (spanisch/german/englisch), has apparently real life knowledge of the region down here (or there, or anywhere), and claims to see everything. @Red the Bean, a confused squirrel. @Daniel Prieto, a quiet confused local interested in mushrooms.
Right now mysteriously we might have gotten our hands on a local contact that can or could help, as pointed out in the initial audio take, when it comes to check the truths behind our virtual reality out here.
As a means of tools, besides ourselves and our very own skills, we do have:
fediVerse profileseach and every ones profile(s)peerTube profileshere and there and everywheremedia pages the subdomain concept as exemplified in the fallVonMerz projectpodcast instances tupambae dot.org and dot.comphpBB permacultureforumThe Permacultureforum added actually forum and image sections related to aspects that came up in this thread and that actually were overdue. element/matrixmatrix channelsthe tupambae principlesas defined in Impressum and TOS common ground | CC-BY-SA-NC Terms of Service unknown contain lot's of small written rules change every day depend on the country you are posting from and the country you are posting to can't be breached until declared in the very moment Rules be kind to each other do not intent to be rude do not intent to be hurtful try not to suppose
To begin with, this sounds like a lot, what do you people think?
layout consideration to work onAs a howTo proposal, let's try to make this post a comprehensive communication about a project. Instead of adding a eternal list of comments, let's try o edit and reedit our comments here so we keep this kinda compact and tidy. We can even come up with posting links to new conversation strings on specific topics or off-topic conversations.
Let's play and reinvent another wheel!
(we mentioned the @permaCulture community profile to reach more people that are involved in the underlying goal which is to preserve and evolve the earth of our grand children, creating a permanent human culture based on principals that enable in the first place a permanent agricultural development) ((please feel free to reshare, spread and comment))
En hora buena, llego el mensaje que mando la patronal guardado por #fediLab la primera noche que el @bitpickup estaba en el hospital para que el supiera cuando hay omnibus de regreso. Se lo mandaron la misma noche que llego cuando estuvo pensando de salir rajando despues de que le dieron el antidoto porque tenia la perra en el coche en la policlinica del pueblo y no solo que es rearisca, estaba por estar al sol encerrada por un par de dias. Sin agua, ni comida ni nada, por no decir .. lindo panorama.
La que el @bitpickup se olvido de subir al llegar a la entrada de los vecinos, porque la deja correr detrás del coche cuando sale para que entrene un rato?
Just stumbled in the very same channel that harbors the #Kleene inviting to play a first sum up of pictures and data that came together on that "event" for editing and content creation. Not sure if this was posted yet somewhere here. tube.undernet.uy/w/iZPwbDx7cxn…
the peertube initial material sum up is to slow and should be seen at least at speed 1.5. Also It actually could need a remake cutting it down to a 5 minute short attention span tictoc version by anyone who'd like to help out and btw add to the @studi0 proposal of cooperating in content creation and working out on how to do that.
The final language of the sum up has to be spanisch and in any case a dubbing into Brazilian language too, as those represent the main public to address and an important audience for the entire project to catch.
Why didn't anybody responded to the #Houston distress call?
What happened to: "Quien la vuelve a molestar ( @SinMisterios ), se liga una. Je je." ?
There is still floating around a claim that some transcript of the initial audio take exists some where in time and space, is there any truth to or prove for that claim at all?
Who did the mention of the mastodon.uy admin and what for?
> @dprieto@mastodon.uy is still into mushrooms, has already decided to ignore our virtual illusions, or maybe even denounced us to his landlord @admin@mastodon.uy .
Yeah that profile play's quiet quiet. Probably the best an admin profile can do. In any case I guess they would need to contact @admin first. At least that's how it should be. Those security checks became quiet common since the mobbing incident on diaspora. That one left the venom deep down in the psyches of more than one out here. Oh, and the call of attention by the social.tchncs team in the early stages on @jesuisatire.
Mas les vale @bitpickup! Forma parte de nuestro contacto local, y tiene datos importantes como de sessiones IP y datos de pago para apoyar la instancia y los esfuerzos de @ santiago, asi que mas les vale que se comportan como la gente. Por no decir: "¡ Que hizo @jesuisatire ahora ?"
Suillus luteus: sobre hongos comestibles de Uruguay
Sensitive content
@tierranietos @bitpickup @jesuisatire Bueno, sé que he estado en silencio, pero ahora que se ven junto a los pinos va una nota inédita que escribí hace más de 10 años sobre los /Suillus luteus/ u hongos de panal.
Seres sociales.
Por desconocimiento, o por su escaso carisma, los hongos pasan desapercibidos en la vida de la mayor parte de los seres humanos. Sin embargo, comemos pan, tomamos cerveza, sidra o vino, que existen en virtud de las levaduras que por supuesto, son hongos. Con los años y la formación científica, me he ido maravillando con la infinidad de cosas que son capaces de hacer los hongos. No sé si es específicamente eso lo que me asombra, o es el penoso desconocimiento que hay acerca de ellos en la población en general. Acaso sea más peligroso esto último que nos lleva al peor enemigo posible: la ignorancia. En el hemisferio sur abundan las coníferas. Son grandes, verdes, primitivas y hermosas. En Uruguay abundan los pinos (Pinus spp.) y ellos han colonizado infinidad de ecosistemas costeros desplazando al relicto a nuestro autóctono y petiso monte psamófilo. Es difícil encontrar un lugar arenoso tanto en las costas del Río de la Plata como en la costa atlántica del Uruguay donde no hayan pinos. Los pinos crecen muy bien en esta región, y ello es fruto de una poderosa interacción de sus raíces con el más variopinto plantel de hongos imaginables. Esta asociación, que produce beneficios para ambos miembros de la sociedad, se conoce en biología como simbiosis. Cuando comienzan las lluvias de otoño y los montes de pinos se tornan húmedos y las temperaturas aún son moderadas, los hongos se ven invadidos de un frenesí reproductivo y comienzan a formar estructuras sexuales. Algunos hongos producen los conocidos sombreros o setas, que portan las esporas que aseguran la dispersión y perpetuación de la especie. Muchos de estos sombreritos son de gran belleza para el observador atento, y también pueden representar pequeños tesoros en función de sus posibles utilidades en el hogar. La recolección de hongos debe hacerse con cuidado y con asesoramiento de personas que conozcan perfectamente lo que se colecta. Algunas de estas especies pueden ser muy tóxicas, por lo que no debe tomarse a la ligera su utilización, especialmente en la alimentación. Uno de los grandes amigos de los pinos es el comúnmente llamado hongo de panal. Su nombre se debe a que en la parte inferior del sombrero, sus esporas están contenidas en pequeños tubos apretados que le dan aspecto de panal. Hay una especie particularmente interesante desde el punto de vista gastronómico de estos hongos de panal, Suillus luteus (o Boletus luteus) es su nombre científico.
Menospreciado por desconocer sus excelentes cualidades aromáticas al secarse, este hongo de panal ha convivido discretamente con los uruguayos desde hace mucho. Los que conocían su potencial gastronómico eran los inmigrantes italianos que llegaron a fines del siglo XIX o a principios del XX escapando de la guerra a lugares menos agitados. Algunos de sus descendientes todavía esperan con la paciencia del sabio y los cosechan ávidamente cuando aparecen en la superficie. Son hongos limpios, es decir, muchas veces crecen sobre el césped en los alrededores de los pinos y, por lo tanto, no exigen lavados exhaustivos para retirar la arena como ocurre con más conocido en Uruguay como hongo rosado o delicioso (Lactarius deliciosus). Su nombre genérico Suillus refiere a su aroma fresco que es buscado por los cerdos (suinos), aroma que recuerda a aquel de la manteca fresca, y que se exacerba luego de un ligero hervor. Aún hoy los micológicos italianos llaman a este hongo funghi porcini. Son hongos con gran contenido de agua, por lo que debe evitarse sumergirlos para su lavado y, de hecho, es preferible evitar por completo su lavado para evitar que queden excesivamente acuosos. Para su consumo, tanto secos como frescos, debe removerse la cutícula gelatinosa que recubre el sombrero; actividad que requiere de paciencia pero que es esencial ya que la cutícula resulta además de desagradable, indigesta. Un excelente medio de conservación es su deshidratación, lo que además resulta práctico para su almacenamiento por el reducido espacio que se requiere para una gran cantidad de hongos una vez secos. Este sencillo método que consiste en colocarlos con el pie hacia arriba sobre una rejilla – cubiertos con un tul o una malla para evitar los insectos – y colocarlos al sol durante aproximadamente una semana, cuidando de ponerlos a resguardo de la humedad de las noches de otoño y volviéndolos a sacar al día siguiente, representa además una forma de potenciar su sabor. Probablemente durante el secado ocurra algún tipo de fermentación parcial, que permite obtener y concentrar un perfume imprescindible a la hora de preparar arroces aromáticos, salsas, e innumerables otros platos.

Fascinante lectura.
Un poco embolante el tema de tener que sacarles la cutícula pero considerando que a la mayoría de los hongos hay que limpiarlos muy bien, quizás no tanto.
Ante que nada, genial @dprieto, gracias por el aporte. A ver si lo podemos integrar aun mejor a nuestros hilos y documentación. Por cierto, se agrego al reubicado sitio de huerta, ahora con nombre #permacultura y apellido #tupambae.com una sección "Fungi | Hongos | Setas": permacultura.tupambae.org/view…
Por el momento sin tema ninguno, sin embargo con la idea de ir agregándole contenido, así que, si te parece bien usaremos estos textos tuyos con enlaces hacia aquí, o mejor, te damos acceso y lo aprovechas como mas te place. De hecho siempre esta la opción de hacer una copia completa del y pasártelo así como viene. Probablemente borrando a lo que no corresponde pasar, pero en si la idea y la oferta esta es es bien simple. Los sitios phpBB se pueden cambiar bastante fácil de dominio y son de código abierto. De hecho undernet monto uno recientemente. El de tupambae.com es un sitio cerrado, no solo que los foros han muerto, abierto se llenan de SPAM y si realmente ay gente que quieren participar con invitación por mail alcanza y sobra. Y actualizaciones a versiones mas nuevas tampoco tiene mucho sentido. Así como esta funciona, el diseño aun copa y ta. Tiene todo lo que hace falta, incluyendo robots.txt que manada a los crawler a donde corresponde, el internet de hoy ya no es lo que era. Por decirlo de alguna manera.
@mina > Un poco embolante el tema de tener que sacarles la cutícula
Si, aunque sale bien fácil. Habrá que volver a hacerlo, el primer intento este año si bien aporto una forma nueva y excelente de secado, usando el coche al sol, por razones de urgencia medica se nos complico y se perdió la muestra.
@tierranietos @bitpickup @jesuisatire úsalos con toda tranquilidad. Darme acceso de edición no tendría sentido. Mañana subo otra nota que podría servir. Es cierto eso de la internet de ahora, enshittification total.
Lo que si parece que @Daniel Prieto se recontra confundio de boliche aqui, en realidad sus cometarios deberian ir en el siguiente hilo, eso al menos parece desde el punto de vista de aca: mastodon.uy/@tierranietos/1143…
(y no, no importa mucho, mas bien una nota aparte ..)
En el fondo "la culpa" es del formato que plantea mastodon. Es friendica que lo evidencia de verdad. Al menos que mires estas cosas desde pantalla de compu y desde un punto de vista de "hilos secundarios" tampoco que importa mucho. Ejemplo, el hilo de #buenosDias de este perfil: mastodon.uy/@tierranietos/1144…
Todos los dias simplemente actualizo el tema inicial con la(s) imagen(es) del dia. Una respuesta diaria incial despues aranca "el hilo del dia". Si abris el ultimo comentario de este hilo veras solo el contenido de este dia onda "en una sola pagina web": mastodon.uy/@bitpickup@troet.c…
Sin embargo, si lo miras desde el tema inicial se transfoma en un eterno hilo poco comprensible y de poco encanto.
Por ello en parte la propuesta tanto de friendica como ademas de un sitio tipo foro, o las paginas html del projecto subdominio "media" o paginas wordpress. Microbloging es tipo rollo de papel de cocina. Arancas una hoja, la usas y la tiras. Para el chiveo diaria es genial, sin embargo, para textos y contenidos elaborado bien "y con cariño" es un insulto. (en mi humilde opnion)

* En el correr del mes de #mayo este mismo tema se actualiza editando según el día y la ocasión.
@tierranietos @bitpickup la verdad que como no estoy interesada en tener friendica y estoy bien con mastodon desde el celu, todo estas complicaciones que veo innecesarias desde mastodon, me aburren, ni siquiera me dan ganas de entender cómo funciona el sistema que solo vos con tus 47 cuentas activas usás, me agobia. Me gusta mastodon por la simplicidad, esto lo veo como uan complicación innecesaria. Preferiría que el contacto cin friendica fuera como otros mensajes con mastodon. Por ejemolo al ver cuentas de pixelfed no se ve todas las fotis oero eso no me interesa, el resto se ve como mastodon
Vos dijiste lo que estuve pensando todo el tiempo:
"todas estas complicaciones que veo innecesarias […] me aburren, ni siquiera me dan ganas de entender cómo funciona el sistema que solo vos con tus 47 cuentas activas usás, me agobia."
Y ahí está el secreto del "éxito" de Mastodon entre todos los sabores del Fediverso:
Que me gusta contexto y coherencia no implica que no sepa apreciar chiveo y las pavadas.
Es mas, voto @pranger para @utopiarte no solo porque usan, comprenden y explican las redes libres, incluso montan instancias y construyen puentes interconectando gente e informacion.
Deben de ser unos atrevidos sabelotodos que solo quieren hacerse ver de aquellos!
.. porque con su quickcomment puedo definir mis #gifComments preferidos para seleccionarlos sencillamente con un par de clics y dejar un comentario de puta madre, envés de escribir un montón de palabras como tu para explicar lo evidente en un mundo de mentes enshittificados.
Por cierto:
porque no solo usan, comprenden y explican las redes libres,
Me parece que debería decir:
no solo porque usan, comprenden y explican las redes libres,

Si fue eso lo que escribi, que decis, acaso no sabes leer?
Y ya que estamos @jesuisatire@tupambae.com: Ahora que te haces el friendicano, que por cierto marca textos escritos en castellano como si fueran escritos en aleman para que el sistema de traduccion no funciona y por lo tanto @resl no entiende nada, te crees algo mejor?
Con la introducción de las especies del género Eucalyptus al Uruguay, llegaron otros seres que seguramente vinieron como pasajeros en el mismo barco, los hongos de los eucaliptos Gymnopilus spectabilis (antes descriptos como Pholiota spectabilis). Esta introducción, que debe haber sido involuntaria, ha tenido consecuencias insospechadas en el territorio uruguayo. En primer lugar debe destacarse el enorme valor utilitario de este hongo, que se ha especializado en degradar los restos de troncos de los cada vez más ubicuos eucaliptos. Pero más allá de su descacable posición en una red trófica degradando productos que de otra forma resultarían enormemente recalcitrantes, el hongo de eucalipto posee un valor extra en la dieta de los uruguayos. Contrariamente a lo que ha ocurrido en la mayoría de los países donde infinidad de autores han escrito en desmedro de estos hongos, en el Uruguay, ha permeado en la mayoría de los hogares y, con escasísimas excepciones en los locales callejeros de comidas rápidas o carritos. Al referirnos a hongo de eucalipto, en realidad nos referimos a sus estructuras sexuales, o cuerpos fructíferos (basidiocarpos) – los sombreros o setas, como gustan llamarlos los europeos. El hongo en sí (su cuerpo vegetativo) es esa maraña de pelillos delgados que habita sin pena ni gloria la mayor parte del año alimentándose de los deshechos de los eucaliptos sin siquiera ser percibido por los humanos. Estos cuerpos fructíferos aparecen en grupos, y maduran de forma escalonada. De modo que el grupo de hongos tiene algunos muy grandes y otros muy pequeños, como si se tratara de una pequeña familia.
Las escuetas referencias bibliográficas a su utilización en alimentación se deben principalmente a que para ser consumidos requieren un procesamiento previo, simple pero fundamental. Si los hongos no se hierven previamente, no son aptos para el consumo humano. Tan sencillo como eso. Naturalmente estos hongos son duros y amargos. No contentos con eso, es un hecho bastante difundido que producen sustancias alucinógenas y tóxicas. Es por eso que en casi todas partes del mundo están catalogados como tóxicos. Personalmente, no he visto jamás un testimonio de nadie que los haya utilizado como droga de uso recreativo; probablemente porque son tan duros y tan amargos y picantes en estado fresco, y dejan una sensación tan desagradable en el paladar que hasta el psicodélico más entusiasta los prefiere en un choripán.
Difusión
En Uruguay hay una industria de los hongos en conserva, pero más del 99% de los hongos que se preparan para su comercialización son hongos de eucalipto. Para ello se los procesa en vinagre y agua con sal. Así, se los conoce como hongos en vinagre, y son utilizados como acompañamiento en hamburguesas, salchichas (o panchos como los llamamos en el Río de la Plata), o chorizos (especialmente al pan). Es muy común encontrar hongos de eucalipto frescos para su venta en las verdulerías de Montevideo en otoño. Desconozco cuántos kilos se comercializan de estos hongos en vinagre al año, pero por ser omnipresentes en los locales de este tipo de comidas y en los supermercados imagino que su volumen de venta anual ¡debe aproximarse al de las aceitunas! Tal es el apetito fúngico de los uruguayos. Lamentablemente puede constatarse la profunda ignorancia de los proveedores industriales cuando al observar algunos de los envases del mercado que contienen hongos de eucalipto (Gymnopilus spectabilis), el consumidor encuentra que luce en las etiquetas “hongos (Lactarius deliciosus), vinagre, agua y sal”. Este es un ejemplo no sólo de una aberración taxonómica, sino un reflejo de un desconocimiento supino de la entidad biológica involucrada. Llamo la atención sobre esto, porque resulta evidente la falta de asesoramiento por profesionales adecuados, así como la ridiculez de los contralores bromatológicos, llevados a cabo por quién sabe qué clase de funcionarios que adjudican una habilitación para la comercialización de un producto de consumo humano por parte de empresas que claramente carecen de asesores debidamente formados.
Hay quienes hierven los hongos de eucalipto hasta que quedan tiernos, y ese proceso puede llevar un rato. Otros, más puristas de su sabor, indican que la detoxificación debe realizarse con sucesivos cambios de agua – como se hace con las aceitunas. Este último procedimiento es el que me ha resultado más placentero al paladar porque respeta el sutil sabor, y el hermoso color amarillo de estos pequeños habitantes de los montes de eucaliptos. Lo que dicta mi experiencia personal, y he insistido en probar muchas variantes es que tanto si uno los colecta o los compra debe preferir aquellos más pequeños ya que resultan más tiernos. Los más grandes los utiliza la industria y funcionan bien como condimento, pero si uno desea saborearlos con algún detalle personalizado y respetando su color, aroma y sabores naturales, es preferible hacer esta selección, que permite evitar una intensa etapa de hervor. Otro punto radica en la utilización excesiva de vinagre, que por supuesto asegura la conservación, pero sacrifica los pequeños sabores en beneficio del penetrante y desagradable olor del ácido acético. Cada receta que he encontrado que refiere a un escabeche utiliza al menos partes iguales de aceite y vinagre, cosa que me resulta sensorialmente inaceptable. Mi recomendación es utilizar como máximo una medida de vinagre por cada dos de aceite. La receta que se presenta aquí es una variación de una disponible en el ciberespacio bajo el título de hongos adobados, y que se atribuye a algún instituto de enseñanza de la gastronomía.
Hongos de eucalipto en escabeche
1 kg de hongos de eucalipto 1 taza de vinagre 1 taza de agua 1/2 cucharada de sal gruesa Pimienta recién molida (para evitar la desagradable sorpresa de morder un grano de pimienta) 5 dientes de ajo pelados (sin picar) 1 morrón (preferentemente rojo) picado en cubitos o en tirillas, a gusto del usuario Aceite de girasol (o de maíz, lo importante es que sea de sabor neutro) 1 taza de aceite de oliva 5 Hojas frescas de laurel Albahaca seca
Poner los hongos en agua durante varias horas (4-5) cambiándoles el agua varias veces (cada 30 minutos da buen resultado). Escurrirlos y colocarlos en agua limpia y darles un hervor de 1 minuto. Volver a escurrirlos bien con un colador. Si elegimos hongos pequeños sólo deberemos cortarlos por la mitad, o a lo sumo en 3 partes. Los más pequeños no necesitan ser cortados y resulta muy agradable a la vista verlos enteros. Cocinarlos tapados en el vinagre, agua y sal durante cinco minutos, y escurrir bien. Colocarlos en el aceite de girasol con los dientes de ajo, el laurel, la pimienta, la albahaca y el morrón. Calentar brevemente para unificar sabores y mezclar. Retirar del fuego, y agregar el aceite de oliva. Envasar en frascos esterilizados, tapar a media rosca y colocar en agua hirviendo, en olla tapada durante 20 minutos. Tapar completamente y almacenar.

Ce système d’exploitation 32-bit basé sur Forth est conçu avec un objectif précis : être maximalement utile lors d’un effondrement civilisationnel, quand on ne pourra plus fabriquer de nouveaux ordinateurs mais qu’il en restera encore beaucoup autour de nous. posted by pod_feeder
C'est super-intéressant et ça suscite pas mal de réflexions :
Effectivement l'informatique s'est construite sous forme d'architecture en « pile », intéressante du point de vue conceptuel et modulaire, mais gourmande en ressources, difficile à optimiser, sans compter les problèmes de dépendance logicielle et de sécurité de la chaîne logistique.
Dans le contexte de l'effondrement, il faudrait s'assurer d'avoir encore les moyens matériels, humains, et les ressources (réseau électrique), de faire tourner des ordinateurs... C'est pas gagné. En tout cas un peu de doc papier pourrait être utile !
Toujours dans le contexte de l’effondrement, il serait crucial que ce système puisse proposer des outils didactiques pour que les connaissances indispensables continuent à être transmises et utilisées : je pense à des communs comme Wikipedia et OpenStreetMap par ex., mais aussi des connaissances pratiques sur l'agro-écologie, la fabrication d'objets rustiques, les connaissances élémentaires...
La mise en réseau (même très basique, comme le pair-à-pair) serait intéressante, pour partager les infos entre deux PC. Bref, à suivre !
@Friendica Support As for my knowledge this intended newbee speaks fluently german, englisch and spanisch, tho maybe du/you/tu is a little bit to shy to ask for help .. not sure.
What is your setup and what have you tried till now @Mina to install your #friendica server, maybe we can figure out what's your problem with the installation. 🤔
until finally the browser told me "redirection error".
I then tested with some arbitrary PHP file if PHP worked. It did (in the root directory and the friendica subdirectory).
Then I tried stuff that was recommended in the forum (where I also found people told to become developers if they had problems), like entering database details into config files, some changes in .htaccess, but, alas, to no avail.
Not sure what is the actual state of the art of the installer is. Last I "heard" and experienced is that it was broken and that the best way to install is thru the console commands detailed in the helpers page: /help/Install#Option+B%3A+Run+the+automatic+install+script
Actually I didn't followed the @Friendica Support or friendica news channel latelly, so no idea if there were any updates. What I wondered "the other day" is that we could ask @Tobias wich friendica version was the last that had the install working fine and simply install that version, via gitpull. Once installed you can than just start the updates. If you do that before even creating any contacts or content, that should go quite smoothly. We recently did updates from 2023.05 on this server and the referenced installation guide was from that (stable) version in it's time and worked well so I assume that installing via gitpull but adressing that version, or the one Tobias indicates should work out easily.
Marcos Is Delusional In Plan To Declare The Philippines Insurgency-Free: NPA
Marcos is delusional when he and his fascist cohorts bragged their intention to declare the Philippines “insurgency-free” this year, peddling the fantasy that they will soon completely annihilate the New People’s Army and put an end to the Filipino people’s armed resistance.
Marcos and his officials in the NTF-ELCAC and National Security Council are fooling only themselves with their pronouncements in their so-called National Action Plan for Unity, Peace and Development, that the NPA has no more guerrilla front in any part of the country, except for one “weakened” in Bicol. These false claims are readily debunked by their own actions, as they continue to deploy scores of combat battalions against units of the NPA nationwide.
They talk of “peace and development” but bring only tyranny and destruction. There is no peace when armed soldiers lord over the civilian population in the guise of “community support.” There can be no peace when drunken soldiers recklessly fire their weapons during their nightly binges. It is a mockery of peace when soldiers murder civilians with impunity and fabricate stories that they were killed in armed encounter with the NPA that never happened.
They talk of peace but continue to imprison on false charges the peace consultants of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) and more than 800 other political prisoners. They talk of peace but only want the NPA to surrender its weapons and give up the people’s cause. What peace are they talking about when all they want is for the people to give up all they have to defend themselves with from the violent onslaught of the brutal state machinery? This is the fascist interpretation of peace, the peace of the graveyard, not the just and lasting peace that the Filipino people aspire for.
How can there be peace when they continue to refuse to acknowledge and address the problem of landlessness that lie at the root of the armed conflict? Contrary to the claims of the NTF-ELCAC, a few road and infrastructure projects will not bring development to peasant communities. They build roads without traffic, clinics without doctors, and schools without teachers, only to line up the pockets of military officers and contractors with kickbacks and bribes.
How can there be peace when the Marcos regime continues to follow the US counterinsurgency doctrine to suppress the Filipino people’s armed resistance, and use US-supplied bombs and weapons against the Filipino people. How can there be peace when Marcos allows the US military to build up its forces in the Philippines, position its missiles, stockpile its weapons, use the Philippines for conducting non-stop war exercises and as springboard for saber-rattling in South China Sea, and drag the country into war preparations and provocations against its imperialist rival China?
Marcos’ claims of development are all empty talk when landless tenants are made to surrender half their produce to the land owner in the form of rent, when farm-workers are paid measly wages enough only to feed their children with instant noodles, or when poor peasants do not have land to work on, and where the military overlords tell people they cannot expand their production, accusing them of contributing their produce to the NPA.
What development is the NTF-ELCAC talking about when the government itself acknowledged that over the past year, 1.1 million people lost their jobs, including more than 610,000 displaced in agriculture. In the countryside, these are the peasants being driven away by Marcos from their land to allow the entry of mining companies, plantations, energy and so-called eco-tourism projects. These are the palay farmers who are going bankrupt in the face of the deluge of imported rice ordered by Marcos. These too are the onion, garlic and vegetable farmers who are losing money in the face of unfair competition with commodities being imported by smugglers and big business cartels, in collusion with Marcos and his lieutenants.
Marcos is an expert at massaging and cherry-picking data and publicity gimmicks to conceal the failure of his regime to address the needs of the people. However, despite all their efforts to weave an illusion of development, Marcos and NTF-ELCAC could not hide the ever worsening conditions of the people in the face of widespread joblessness, economic dispossession, low wages and salaries, high prices, and lack of social services, while government and military officers wallow in bureaucratic corruption. Not even the NTF-ELCAC’s retinue of apologists, the traitors calling themselves “former rebels,” could hide these gross realities.
Through the NAP-UPD and the accompanying Memorandum Circular No. 83, Marcos scapegoats the mass organizations of workers and peasants, students associations, even electoral parties and pro-poor service agencies, for failure to end the revolutionary armed resistance of the people through its all-out war. The NAP-UPD’s reveals Marcos’ plan to further intensify political repression to silence all dissent and critics. Over the past year, officers and members of these groups have faced intense political and legal persecution, with the NTF-ELCAC, the AFP and police leveraging the Anti-Terrorism Law and Anti-Terrorist Financing Law against them.
By clamping down on these organizations who seek redress within the bounds of the reactionary constitution, and restrict the legal avenue of struggle, the Marcos regime, in fact, is inciting people to take the path of armed struggle and join or support the New People’s Army.
While the NPA has suffered losses stemming from both its internal weaknesses and the relentless US-supported war of terror waged by the Marcos regime, it is far from being defeated. The US-Marcos regime and its fascist agents are absolutely wrong to think that it can crush the NPA with their superior military force and relentless suppression of the people. Even now, the NPA is making steady headway in countering the enemy’s all-out war by overcoming its internal problems, returning to the basic principles of waging protracted people’s war, tirelessly conducting mass work, counter-encircling the enemy, and making it punch in the air.
The NPA continues to enjoy the deep and wide support of the masses. The peasant masses, from among whom came the majority of the NPA’s Red fighters, are undeterred and determined to persevere in taking part in the armed resistance to fight for their rights and interests, especially in the face of Marcos regime’s state terrorist attacks against their communities.
The Red fighters and commanders of the NPA have no intention of being defeated. Inspired and guided by the rectification movement, and by the memory of all their fallen heroes and martyrs, they are determined as ever to frustrate the all-out fascist war being waged by Marcos and his fascist minions. Under the absolute leadership of the Party, the NPA will continue to wage widespread and intensive guerrilla warfare and employ the tactics of concentration, dispersal and shifting and quick movement, with the aim of recovering, reactivating and rebuilding the mass base which the enemy so desperately wants to disorganize and destroy.
The NPA, along with all the Party’s revolutionary forces, must exert extra effort to work hand in hand with the peasant masses in the guerrilla zones and surrounding areas, to carry forward their antifeudal and antifascist mass struggles. Based on their capabilities, NPA units will continue to carry out tactical offensives to shatter the reign of terror, punish the fascist criminals and inspire the people to fight with all their strength.
The crisis of the semi-colonial and semi-feudal system, being exacerbated by the Marcos regime with his complete subservience to its imperialist masters, continue to generate conditions favorable for waging the armed revolution. The broad masses of the people are being subjected to ever worsening forms of political repression, oppression and exploitation. They have no other choice but to fight back primarily with arms, along with other forms of struggle, against the armed suppression of the Marcos regime.
The Party calls on all revolutionary mass activists, especially among workers and the youth, to join the New People’s Army and serve as Red fighters, and participate in waging agrarian revolution and armed struggle. All revolutionary forces must strengthen their resolve and fight even more militantly and courageously, to carry forward the struggle for national and social liberation.

Stalin: (I)t is obligatory for us, Leninists, to wage a fight on two fronts—both against the Right deviation and against the "Left" deviation. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.
